Went to go see the Marines visit the hometown Swallows last week in a gripping game that went extra innings (with the Swallows pulling off a win). The game was already going long when we got there and we left the game after the seventh inning with the score tied. I've seen the Giants play in the Tokyo dome and now have seen my favorites the Swallows play at Jingu Stadium. Just like any other trip to the park my feelings remain strong, that the Swallows are the Tokyo team and that baseball was meant to be played outdoors.
